RE: Exhaust manifold gasket leaky
After entering the ESN on quickserve, I'm presented with the option to buy operation and owner's manuals. The registration is free as several of you wrote. However, the repair/maintenance procedures for such things as the gasket replacement I'm about to dig into, I'm not sure which of these manuals I need to purchase. What am I looking for here?

all procedures and parts lookups are free on quickserv. you are not looking in the right places.

After you type in your esn click service and you should see a hyper link that has your engine model and says service manuals, click that and scroll down to exhaust manifold and the procedure is there.

Yeah... that's why I asked what I asked. Appreciate it.

Long story short, none of the bolts broke. New ones are in (not tightened, I'm aware of the precise specs, but they're just at the threshold), and will reassemble everything after I get a nap here. The new torque wrench is freshly unboxed and ready.

I followed a few of you who suggested I thin-layer antiseize the gaskets and bolts, even though everything came off relatively easy. Might help, if there is a next time.

I did underestimate the heavy awkwardness of positioning the manifold back in place, alone. Will definitely get a helper next time to push the bolts through the gaskets into place, as I hold the manifold up, or vice versa.

Just out of curiosity, I called a truck and trailer shop down the road for an estimate on this job. They quoted me eight hours at $1,900+... that is, if everything went well, no broken bolts or such. Sound accurate? Or is this a 2023 special?

I'll post more pics and/or short vids as I collect files from the mobile device. Including when it's back together and I could rightly judge this complete. Thanks for the multiple heads-up on several things.

This would be a good time to an internal cleaning on the egr cooler.

Make sure to retorque those manifold bolts after a couple days of running the engine.

Interesting thing I see on this busted gasket between the turbo and the pipe section with the DPF doser and NOx sensor. I didn't notice until a passersby pointed it out. The broken part that looks like a donut with a bite in it. There is actually a guide hole that lines up with the pipe section. (Red arrow) A small bump is there in the pipe that'll go through the gaskets hole. I didn't see that because the "donut bite" is there widening the guide hole. You see the new bump I made when I removed the pipe previously and reinstalled (Yellow arrow).
